Kent State University at Kent Top Questions

I wish I would've understood how tightly knit everything was there. I didn't realize how easy it was to feel like you're a part of the whole experience, and that one of Kent's goals is to make you feel like a part of the Kent family for a lifetime. With this, I would not have been so worried about how big the campus was and I would've realized earlier that there was nothing to worry about when it came to fitting into that lifestyle of independence and self suffiency.

I wish i would have known how important it was to fill out scholarships. They really are very helpful to your education.

That there are very racist people in Kent but if you mind your business you will be ok.

Before I came to Kent State Univerisity, I wish I would have known to get more envolved with my surroundings. By doing this, I would have been more active in my community and gotten to know a lot of new people that would have helped me on my way to success. By getting envolved you find yourself to stay on track with your goals and you find yourself having fun and being yourself. Being active gives people more independence and gives them a real college experience.

the on campus bus system is terrible

I wish that I had been involved in more extra-curricular activities, or organziations. I was involved in some things such as student government, intra-mural athletics, but wish that I would have been involved in more volunteer, community based efforts.

I really don't think that there is anything I would have liked to know before coming here. I started college knowing very minimal information about it but I wouldn't change it for the world. I believe that's how you should go into a situation so you don't have preconcieved notions or judgements.

Before coming to this school I wish I had known how to be a better student. Kent State University is a great school in all aspects especially academics. In high school I wasn’t the best student as far as grades go and after coming here I realized that putting a poor effort into my work and studies does work here. Kent State has a great college of business and they take their GPA score very seriously. Because of my poor choices as a student first semester, I got off to a bad start and regret it every day.

I wish I knew more about their advising system and the detailed requirements for the major I initially started out for. I was a secondary history education major, but their department was extremely unorganized. I never met with an advisor until my 3rd year as this major. I am now just a history major and had to change my plans for after graduation.

I wish I would have known how important my high school education would be when it came time for college. While I did fairly well as an A and B student, if I had tried harder I would not have to work to pay for all my education. By working, I am spliting time between a job and studying. If I could go back in time, I would tell myself as a sophomore in high school to study hard, because when time came, I would rather be studying than struggling to balance study and work just to stay in school.
